 四类工程材料接到现有 `release-project` 字段。公开正式材料写入 `publicFiles`（`sourceScope` / `from` / `to` / `mode`）。运行必需资源写入 `requiredPublicFiles`，必须被同一单元 `publicFiles[].to` 精确覆盖。私有正式材料与非正式运行材料不列入 `publicFiles`，需要挡住时使用 `forbiddenPaths` / `forbiddenContentPatterns`。正式不等于公开。是否进入公开快照由 `publicFiles` 是否列出决定。npm 是载荷渠道。`package.json` 的 `files` 与入口闭包和公开映射同时约束。`delivery.include` / `delivery.exclude` 只选择宿主，不是文件包含或排除。排除不得拿掉运行必需资源。互相冲突的配置必须失败关闭。
